The Rhetorical Implications of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart

4.11 - 1251 ratings - Source

In Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe articulates and dramatizes a unique and peculiar kind of rhetoric- a rhetoric that emphasizes that man, and not language, is the site for social interaction. The oracle and the bull are synthesized, metamorphosed, laced, and condensed to form an alchemy which produces a cohesive communal community as the end result. This African rhetoric displays a language that is innocent, unlike the Western European rhetoric where language dramatizes multiple voices. This critical text focuses on Achebe's rhetoric from the Aristotelian style.This African rhetoric displays a language that is innocent, unlike the Western European rhetoric where language dramatizes multiple voices.
